Ace of Spades is exasperated this morning.
Party of Fail: Senate Pulls Plug on Obamacare "Repeal"

I'm having a hard time caring what party controls what any more. It's all really the same party.

House Republicans on Tuesday were seething with anger over the Senate GOP's late Monday decision to pull the plug on a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Lawmakers leaving the House GOP's weekly conference meeting said feelings of exasperation and anger have set in, now that the Senate has dropped plans to vote on an Obamacare replacement bill this month.

As usual, there are many good comments. For example Scogg Dog writes,

The bill used Budget Reconcilliation to void most of ObamaCare. The bill was short.

That they didn't put it back up for vote on Day One told me all I needed to know.

Remember, Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse has been explaining to us over and over how we really have a Uni-party of political salesmen in the House and Senate, and the legislation is written by lobbyists for big donors who fund the salesmen's political campaigns.
